Let's visit the Hunterian Museum! (not for the squeamish!)

More events by

The Hunterian Museum was named after John Hunter [masked]), one of the pioneers of transplant surgery and his collection of over 15,000 medical specimens. Items include the skeleton of the "Irish Giant" who was almost 8 feet tall, and various other medical specimens and oddities. The Hunterian will be closing for a 3-year refurbishment in May 2017, so this is a good chance to see it before it closes!

On Wednesdays at 1pm there are free curator-led tours of the museum. They're free, but it's not guaranteed that we will all be allowed to join the tour if we are a big group.

Even without the tour, the museum is a fascinating place to spend a couple of hours!

Afterwards we can go for a coffee or a drink if people fancy it.

As the tour starts at 1pm, I suggest that we meet in front of the museum at 12, wait 20 minutes or so for late-comers, then head in together.
